According to the test page, the gameplay of this game focuses on teamwork and user-generated content (UCG). The purpose of the game is “players cooperate with others, use creativity and given resources to completely develop a large and vast planet” scenario .

The game screen in the schematic diagram is very close to “Minecraft”, with characters that look like “Jelly Beans” running around. During the adventure, players not only explore new lands, but also collect resources and encounter new enemies.

“Players will acquire special tools called Beacons, which will emit healing light to purify and reclaim the land. The higher the beacon is placed, the wider the coverage will be.”

Players must perform development work in the area illuminated by the beacon, including “moving, lifting, or editing items.” The ultimate goal is to cover the entire planet’s spherical grid with beacons, and repeat this process until the planet is fully developed.

In addition to the beacon area, there is also a social center called “The Dev Core”, which is a large room made of building blocks. The space is independent of the developed planet. Players can go here to upgrade their characters, obtain props, and interact with each other. Communicate and interact with other players.

The main experience of this Nintendo Switch MMO seems to be “customization elements”. You will be able to design your own beacons, but you will not be able to operate any items in the area marked by other players, and there are conditions for use of this feature.

According to the official user-generated content (UCG) function, players must pass in-game testing and meet the standards to “understand the importance of respectful communication” in order to unlock these custom functions.

At first glance, the Nintendo MMO may look like a hybrid of “Minecraft” and “Roblox” with multiplayer scale upgrades, allowing thousands of players to jointly shape the game world and share and exchange customized content. However, the actual gameplay and gameplay of the game have to wait until the official release date. It is subject to publication and we look forward to it being officially launched in the near future.
